Schools in Carmichael, CA

“Making the decision to start our little in daycare wasn't easy, but we knew (or at least hoped) it would be beneficial to her development, social skills, and independence. Choosing the right daycare seemed scary, and we definitely toured a couple we were not fond of. After our tour at Cadence we were impressed, and pleased. Fast forward to now, and we are so grateful we made the decision to enroll our daughter here. She started at around 12 months and is now almost 20 months, and in the older toddler room. It was an adjustment for us all, but now she is just flourishing. The staff are on top of it, and easy to talk to and most importantly make our daughter feel comfortable.”

“Our son attended the infant program at Smallville. We are first time parents, and we felt totally at ease leaving our child there. The Director as well as all of the infant teachers are lovely. You can tell that they care greatly for all of the children and that the kiddos well care for during the day. When we drop him off, he is so excited to go with the teachers and start his day at school. We have loved all the projects that they do with him. He has come home with art work and they have shared photos of him playing in their wonderful play area. He has learned and grown so much and we attribute this to the hard work of Smallville! Overall, we highly recommend this program. It has been a wonderful experience and we could not be more grateful for the staff and all that they have done for our little one!”

“my son has been going here since 2021. 3 years. we've seen teachers come and go but most of them stay. at this point I can't imagine my son going to daycare anywhere else. we moved about half hour away and I still choose to make the commute and take him before work everyday. we love it there THAT much. all his teachers and other kids are like family. we Joke, we laugh. the other kids run up and hug us. such a loving environment.”

“This is the 3rd child of mine that has attended this preschool. The new owners have done so much to improve the school. They are so dedicated to the kids and I'm so grateful my son enjoys his school. The staff went above and beyond to celebrate my sons 4th birthday. It really made our hearts so warm and we are so thankful.”

“Love this daycare and their staff. My 1 year old was in the infant class with miss Brittany and he was always so excited when we would arrive at the parking lot. They’re great with communication, I really felt like my child was safe there. We had to move down to SoCal otherwise my infant would have attended here as well. Both ms Cindy and ms Cathy are amazing directors. Luka misses his friends at Learning jungle”

“My son has been with El Rancho school for 1.5 years. We toured several preschools in the area when moving here. El Rancho was heads above the rest and well worth the 30 min drive for us. The minute I walked on the campus and met Ms Holly and Ms Rosalia I knew this was the right school for us. The campus is beautifully maintained, very cheery, and looks like a park. My son has always been treated with such love and kindness. Swim classes in the summer helped my son so much, at 4 years old he started swimming without any floaties. All the teachers have been wonderful and so patient. He loves his school and often times when I pick up him up he tells me Mommy I am not ready to go yet .”

“Fantastic school! Teachers are all amazing. Really good after school care program too. Friendly support staff everywhere who care about the students. This is he place for kids to be.”

“Beautiful people understand the staff I love it I've been dealing with him every since my daughter's fifth grade now my son is a very very great this year and I have a few other ones that with their grandbabies so that's awesome program I'm fine with it”

“My son went here over the summer. He loved the bus rides in the morning and afternoon. He loved summer school!! He kept asking after it was over "I want bus" "I go school". He wanted to go back. He is taking the speech program for speech delayed and I have to say even though it was summer school he was super happy and excited.”

“Where do I begin? I started my daughter at Mission when she was just 9 weeks old. As a first-time mom (or any mom, really), this was absolutely devastating and terrifying.I toured about 5 diff daycares prior to Mission and I left each one in tears, with more anxiety than I had before I walked in. Not only did nothing feel "just right", some just outright gave me bad vibes and were a HARD NO. Not knowing proper breast milk storage guidelines, not asking my baby's name, how old she was, etc. One place even made racist remarks and apologized for their teachers who were wearing hijabs (no joke).Mission was the last place I looked at, as it was the farthest away and lowest on my radar. Honestly, the SECOND I walked in the door it was a breath of fresh air. It just felt right. Don't get me wrong, I was still in tears while "interviewing" them lol but with each response I got to a question my stress lessened and I knew we were in good hands.They also use a great app with updates on snacks, meals, feedings, diaper changes, etc which, if we're being honest, I WAS GLUED TO LIKE A HAWK WHEN I FIRST ENROLLED lol That definitely helped quell some of my worries.My daughter is now 13 months old and thriving. While all of the teachers are amazing (they come from the toddler and big kids' rooms to say hi to my daughter, were just as excited and anxious for her to take her first steps as I was, send me pics and videos of her, etc), I cannot say enough good things about Ms Karlie.Taking the tour, I saw this young girl in the kitchen area with bottles in front of her and I was like "oh, hell no. She looks just out of high school, she isn't going to know anything about breast milk storage, caring for an infant, blah blah blah". I went to go "test" her....and she was ON it. She knew it all. Although I know my daughter is in good hands with everyone there, it is such a special feeling to know that your child is also LOVED in a care setting. And I know that she is LOVED by Ms Karlie. And Ms Karlie is LOVED by her. And all of the children. Their faces light up when they see her. This is not just a paycheck to Karlie and it shows. Everyone at Mission has been very patient and accommodating of me. I breastfeed, so I asked that my daughter be pace fed- it was done without question. When I switched from disposable to cloth diapers when she was about 8 months old- they not only allowed it (apparently some daycares don't?!?), but they were ready and willing to learn and allow me to show them how.I have never felt like I cannot bring up a concern (although the need has been very infrequent and very minor things) and I know that any concern I d have will be listened to.I cannot stress enough how great this place is. Do yourself a favor and at least take a tour- then you will see why I speak so highly of them.”

“My experience with the Montessori day care has been nothing short of incredible. I enrolled my 4-year-old here, hoping for a nurturing environment that would prepare my child for preschool, and I'm thrilled to say that it exceeded all my expectations.The staff here is exceptional. They're not just caretakers; they're passionate educators who genuinely care about each child's development. They seamlessly blend learning with play, allowing my little one to explore and discover at their own pace. The Montessori method they follow encourages independence, creativity, and problem-solving skills, which has made a tremendous difference in my child's confidence and abilities.What truly stood out to me was how well-prepared my child was for preschool after attending this daycare. The Montessori curriculum laid a fantastic foundation, fostering a love for learning and social interaction that made the transition to preschool smooth and enjoyable.The facilities are top-notch, designed to stimulate curiosity and engagement. I appreciate the emphasis on nature and hands-on experiences, providing a well-rounded education beyond textbooks.Thank you to the entire team at this MCS Montessori for instilling a lifelong love of learning in my child and preparing them so thoroughly for their next academic journey. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to any parent looking for a nurturing, educational, and inspiring environment for their little one.”

“You've heard it said, "it takes a village" and these folks have been such a blessing to us. We were referred to Wonder-Land a long time ago and had been placed on a wait-list during the pandemic. We can't imagine getting through it all without their support. They provide breakfast and lunch, weekly chapel, class pictures, and much more. The staff are very approachable and patient.”

“It’s been years since my daughter Flora has gone here. They were so caring and thoughtful that to this day I remember how awesome they were to Flora. Now that I have found this school again I will absolutely be recommending them to all my friends and family.”
